Interesting Info: Christa Helm

… with the rise of the Internet comes a growing “Christa Helm cult” based almost solely on her memorable TV appearance on Wonder Woman.

Few would recognize the name Sandra Clements, only a handful more would recognize her under the name Christa Helm.

Diane Mitchell had not been in touch with Christa for over two years when the latter contacted her again sometime in 1975.

Her West Hollywood murder on February 2nd of 1977 received surprisingly little coverage for someone so well known in the gossip columns and amongst the stars themselves.

Christa’s cremated remains were returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and over the past 30 years her murder has faded into obscurity.

Christa’s West Hollywood murder on February 12, 1977 received surprisingly little press coverage for someone so well known in the gossip columns and in Hollywood society itself.

In spite of her ambition and seemingly good connections, Christa’s acting career in Hollywood was nowhere near as successful as she had expected it would be.

Her daughter, Nicole Clements, still searches for answers to the question of who killed her mother and why.

Christa’s daughter, Nicole, only nine years old when her mother died, grew up determined to see justice served.

One of the few modern day Internet reports I could find indicates that Christa Helm was stabbed to death in the bathroom at a party she was attending.

Married young, and in the process of divorcing her husband, Sandra became a widow as the result of a car accident.

Duncan, not happy with the screen adaptation of GODSPELL, decided to become a film producer himself.

Christa, is best known by fans of Wonder Woman as Rita in the episode Beauty on Parade.

Via her filmography on Internet Movie Database, Sandra/Christa had a very limited body of work.

On the surface level, Christa was the ultimate party girl—a trophy girlfriend and “Good Time Charlotte” who was widely known amongst the early seventies in-crowd for her big-name boyfriends and her boundless ambition to be a good old-fashioned Lana Turner-style Hollywood star.

By all accounts Christa loved men, loved sex and was seemingly not above using her charms to further her Hollywood ambitions.

According to one posthumous report, she had shot some possibly more explicit new scenes for the film in Hollywood the year before her death but the now allegedly R-rated epic still eluded release.

Debbie Danilow, a fellow traveler with various rock groups of the period, was another back-up singer brought onto the project and she immediately clicked with Christa.

An unsuccessful early marriage resulted in a daughter, Nicole, who would be raised by her grandfather.

In fact, after two years in L.A., she had only managed to grab a Coppertone TV commercial and two small TV roles: a bit part as a roller skating waitress on a 1976 Starsky and Hutch episode and a much larger role later that year as a bitchy beauty pageant contestant on a memorable episode of Wonder Woman titled ‘Beauty on Parade’.

Eventually, though, she would tell friends that she had Crocker “by the balls” and that he would do whatever she wanted.

Described as a “spy spoof” and a “romp,” LET’S GO FOR BROKE was designed to serve as a star-making vehicle for the married producer’s new love interest, Christa Helm.

Special thanks to Christa Helm’s daughter, Nicole, Diane Mitchell and Darlene Thoresen for their help in the preparation of this article.

According to one posthumous report, Christa had shot some new and possibly more explicit scenes for the film in Hollywood the year before her death but the drive-in epic still eluded distribution.

Toward that end, she has recently gotten the CBS-TV news magazines 48 HOURS and CELEBRITY JUSTICE to devote segments of their shows to the murder, and has herself put a number of cold case specialists on the scent.

Some referred to Christa as a party girl, others discussed her many supposed liaisons with celebrities and wealthy men, with some suggestions that she was killed because of a diary she kept.

Christa continued to pin her hopes for true stardom on LET’S GO FOR BROKE.

And yet, like Christa’s dreams of stardom, the case—and her killer—somehow continue to fall through the cracks.
